Chapter 36 The day has finally come.
After a while, Zhang Weihong knocked on the door and whispered, "This time they really started arguing."
Seeing her gossipy expression, Shen Zhixia nodded: "They're arguing a lot."
Lin Xiaowei has always been an emotionally stable person; this is the first time she has ever shouted like this.
Zhang Weihong pulled her to the courtyard. Shen Zhixia's courtyard was closer to Lin Xiaowei's house, so she could hear more clearly. She said, "Actually, I heard them arguing in the middle of the night the day before yesterday. It seemed like Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou was criticizing Sister Xiaowei."
Shen Zhixia's eyes widened: "If this matter doesn't end, won't they keep arguing?"
“Chen Guilan has lost all her children’s children, and she insists that Xiaowei was the one who did it. There was no evidence at the time, so this matter can’t be left unresolved. Unless Chen Guilan doesn’t pursue the matter, but given Chen Guilan’s personality, she will definitely keep bringing it up for the rest of her life,” Zhang Weihong said.
Shen Zhixia said, "Then it seems there really is no way, unless Chen Guilan recovers and leaves here."
Ultimately, Chen Guilan was just Zhou's sister-in-law, and it wouldn't be right for her to stay in the military camp.
Zhang Weihong sneered, "If Chen Guilan wanted to leave, she would have left long ago. Now that she has miscarried, she has that excuse, so she's even less likely to leave."
If that's the case, and the three of them continue to entangle themselves, eventually someone will stop wanting to continue, and the balance among the three will eventually be broken.
Shen Zhixia asked curiously, "What about the child in Chen Guilan's belly...?"
“That child shouldn’t be Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou. Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou wouldn’t be that confused,” Zhang Weihong said.
It seems that Lin Xiaowei said these words in a fit of anger, but the fact that she could say such a thing shows that she was very angry.
The neighbors are still arguing.
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou put down his water glass, pointed at Lin Xiaowei with trembling hands, and said incredulously, "What nonsense are you talking about? You can make up such things at will."
Lin Xiaowei sneered, "Did I make that up? You care so much about the child in her belly. If it weren't your child, why would you cherish it so much?"
She knew that the child in Chen Guilan's belly could not possibly be Zhou Cheng's, but she was still angry and needed to vent it.
She didn't push Chen Guilan, but no one believed her.
Chen Guilan feigned reluctance to pursue the matter further, and neither she nor Zhou Cheng brought it up again, but their actions still betrayed her.
She sensed it.
"You caused your sister-in-law's child to die, and you still have the nerve to say that?" Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou said coldly, "This was my elder brother's only child, but because of your mistake, now everything is gone. Your sister-in-law doesn't hold it against you, but you still keep bringing it up over and over again."
Lin Xiao smiled, a smile utterly desolate: "What do you want to argue about? I've already said it wasn't me who pushed her, but you don't believe me at all. You say you don't blame me, but these past few days, you've completely ignored me, talking only to Chen Guilan. Are you my husband or her husband?"
"Since you only trust her, why don't you two just get together? I'm backing out!"
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou was furious: "You're becoming more and more unreasonable."
Lin Xiaowei said, "You've actually liked Chen Guilan for a long time, haven't you? That's why you kept her by your side. What do you mean by helping your brother take care of his widowed sister-in-law? You're disgusting, and your behavior disgusts me too."
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou was trembling all over: "You, you're talking nonsense."
“I’m talking nonsense? Can you swear you have no feelings for Chen Guilan? You take care of her every day like you would your own wife. Am I wrong to doubt you? The distance between you two has long been excessively intimate.”
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou was panting, his eyes bloodshot, looking extremely angry.
Lin Xiaowei closed her eyes, feeling tired as well. She said, "Zhou Cheng, let's get a divorce."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou looked flustered. He quickly explained, "As you know, I have no one left in my family. My eldest brother raised me since I was a child. I have always regarded my eldest brother as my father. If it weren't for my eldest brother, I wouldn't have survived. After my eldest brother died, he naturally entrusted my sister-in-law to me. I had to take good care of her, but I didn't take good care of her. My eldest brother's only child was still lost."
As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands, looking as if he were about to cry.
In the past, Lin Xiaowei would have felt very sorry for him and comforted him, but now she just watched Zhou, the deputy commander, perform coldly without saying a word.
Zhou Cheng had said these words many times. Lin Xiaowei used to understand him, but now she was numb to it.
"She miscarried because she fell down, and then she tried to smear me."
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou wanted to say something more, but in the end he shut his mouth. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about this for now."
He didn't want to divorce Lin Xiaowei, nor did he want to continue arguing. He and Lin Xiaowei still had feelings for each other; after all, they had fought on the battlefield together and shared a revolutionary bond. They had also been married for many years.
Lin Xiaowei asked, "What are your plans now? After Chen Guilan's injuries heal, will you send her away?"
Before Deputy Commander Zhou could answer, she sneered, "No, you definitely won't send her away. You'll continue to take care of her for the rest of your lives. Wouldn't it be better if we got a divorce and let the two of you be together?"
“You have no guts.” Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou said through gritted teeth, “She’s my sister-in-law! We’re completely innocent! How could you talk about us like this? When did you become like this? I remember you used to be so understanding.”
When did she become like this?
yes.
Lin Xiaowei didn't remember either.
When she married Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, they were very sweet together. But ever since he brought Chen Guilan to live with them, the two of them have been arguing frequently.
Has she changed? No, it's Zhou Cheng who has changed.
Zhou Cheng had promised to treat her well, but now he was protecting Chen Guilan in every way.
She should have let go a long time ago.
But she still dreamed that Zhou Cheng would turn back.
"Zhou Cheng, I don't want to live with you anymore. Whether you agree or not, we have to get a divorce."
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou clenched his fist: "I will absolutely not agree to a divorce."
Lin Xiaowei said, "You can only choose one between me and your sister-in-law."
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou's chest heaved with anger: "You're being unreasonable!"
The two were arguing fiercely.
Chen Guilan was in the room. She opened the door a crack, her heart pounding.
Are they getting a divorce?
Finally... this day has come.
